Hidden RealmsFilming is easier with the Triple Bandpass filter than with the X1 method discussed in previous posts. The blue vegetation, which turns reddish after the channel swap, is…
The sun shone for a few hours, enough to take some photos with the TB550/660/850. The results are very similar to the Orange-Green filter method. In any case,…
Well, here it is, the fabled filter from Midwest Optical that seems to be great for Aerochrome-style photos: The TB550/660/850. You can’t buy it from any store or…
I went outside to see how well my method reproduces the Aerochrome color changes (for context please see previous entries). For this purpose, I took photos with this…
I am currently working on an authentic digital version of the discontinued Kodak Color Infrared film (Aerochrome) with cameras that have a Bayer sensor. Of course, I’m not…
Infrared is used in cinema from time to time. I recently noticed it in the Van Gogh biopic At Eternety’s Gate. The film has one very short scene…
I think I have found a very good way to emulate the look of Kodak Ektachrome Infrared or Aerochrome with digital cameras. If I were only concerned with…
I had some time on my hands today around noon, so I went to the nearby river to get decent monochrome IR images with the Sigma SD1 Merrill.…

There are a number of myths and misconceptions about infrared photography: – An IR photo looks best when taken on a bright, sunny day around noon. – IR…
The channel mixer is perhaps the most important tool when processing a typical IR image (720nm). Using Adobe Premiere we can swap the red and blue channels to…
In a previous post, I showed you my gear and setup for filming in IR. This time, I’d like to tell you about the importance of white balance.…
I’ve started to dedicate myself to infrared video during the last couple of weeks. Filming is in many respects similar to photography. The rules stay the same regarding…
Producing videos is a whole new world to me. It’s much more complex and exhausting than still photography, and IR adds another level of complexity. You need a…
No words now. Just this: It was recorded with an ultraviolet bandpass filter, so the pictures show no visible or infrared light, just UV…
What new color palettes could be achieved with full-spectrum (visible, UV and IR) cameras? This is a question I often ponder. Some months ago I had read a…
Clouds and fog have many valleys in Switzerland firmly in its grip. Above it, however, there is often perfect winter weather. A few days ago I was in…
My infrared Nikon D70 finally arrived today. I bought the camera specifically for shooting wildlife and for using it with the Tokina 300mm f/2.8 AF AT-X lens. The…
I remember coming across the eerie images of Simon Marsden as a little boy. In the school library, I was flipping through a magazine (probably GEO) and came…
After an in-depht test session with the Kolari UV Bandpass filter and the Nikon 28mm f/2.8 AI-s lens I can answer the question I had asked in the…
